First sentence: Depression is a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act. Depression is among the most treatable of mental disorders. Between 80 percent and 90 percent of people with depression eventually respond well to treatment. Before a diagnosis or treatment, a health professional should conduct a thorough diagnostic evaluation, including an interview and possibly a physical examination. The evaluation is to identify specific symptoms, medical and family history, cultural factors and environmental factors to arrive at a diagnosis and plan a course of action. Types of the therapeutic approach for depression are Medication (Antidepressants); Psychotherapy; Individual Therapy; Group Therapy; Couples Therapy; Family Therapy; Interpersonal Therapy; Psychodynamic Therapy; Cognitive Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT). We hope this book provide useful information that will help psychotherapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, clinicians, researchers, students & others understand this fascinating field and its opportunities.
